### Impact Duplicate logging of the input values in the `fetch:template` action in the Scaffolder meant that some of the secrets were not properly redacted. If you're not passing through `${{ secrets.x }}` to `fetch:template` there is no impact. ### Patches This issue has been resolved in `2.1.1` of the `scaffolder-backend` plugin. ### Workarounds Template Authors can remove the use of `${{ secrets }}` being used as an argument to `fetch:template`. ### References If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: Open an issue in the [Backstage repository](https://github.com/backstage/backstage) Visit our Discord, linked to in [Backstage README](https://github.com/backstage/backstage)

### Impact A prototype pollution vulnerability exists in versions 0.5.0 and earlier, wherein if you provide a policy name called `__proto__` you can override the Object prototype. For example: ``` const parse = require('content-security-policy-parser'); const x = parse("default-src 'self'; __proto__ foobar"); console.log('raw print:', x); console.log('toString:', x.toString()); ``` Outputs: ``` raw print: Array { 'default-src': [ "'self'" ] } toString: foobar ``` Whilst no gadget exists in this library, it is possible via other libraries expose functionality that enable RCE. It is customary to label prototype pollution vulnerabilities in this way. The most common effect of this is denial of service, as you can trivially overwrite properties. As the content security policy is provided in HTTP queries, it is incredibly likely that network exploitation is possible. ### Patches There has been a patch implemented a year ago (11 Feb 2024), but low uptake of patched versions has not b...

In versions before `0.15.0`, `@workos-inc/authkit-remix` exposed sensitive authentication artifacts — specifically sealedSession and accessToken — by returning them from the `authkitLoader`. This caused them to be rendered into the browser HTML. ### Impact Exposure of these artifacts could lead to session hijacking in environments where cross-site scripting (XSS), malicious browser extensions, or local inspection is possible. ### Patches Patched in [https://github.com/workos/authkit-remix/releases/tag/v0.15.0](https://github.com/workos/authkit-remix/releases/tag/v0.15.0) In patched versions: - `sealedSession` and `accessToken` are no longer returned by default from the `authkitLoader`. - A secure server-side mechanism is provided to fetch an access token as needed.

In versions before `0.7.0`, `@workos-inc/authkit-react-router` exposed sensitive authentication artifacts — specifically `sealedSession` and `accessToken` by returning them from the `authkitLoader`. This caused them to be rendered into the browser HTML. ### Impact This information disclosure could lead to session hijacking in environments where cross-site scripting (XSS), malicious browser extensions, or local inspection is possible. ### Patches Patched in [https://github.com/workos/authkit-react-router/releases/tag/v0.7.0](https://github.com/workos/authkit-react-router/releases/tag/v0.7.0) In patched versions: - `sealedSession` and `accessToken` are no longer returned by default from the `authkitLoader`. - A secure server-side mechanism is provided to fetch an access token as needed.

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a set of 11 malicious Go packages that are designed to download additional payloads from remote servers and execute them on both Windows and Linux systems. "At runtime the code silently spawns a shell, pulls a second-stage payload from an interchangeable set of .icu and .tech command-and-control (C2) endpoints, and executes it in memory," Socket security

### Impact A protocol compliance bug in thinbus-srp-npm versions prior to 2.0.1 causes the client to generate a fixed 252 bits of entropy instead of the intended bit length of the safe prime (defaulted to 2048 bits). RFC 5054 states in section [2.5.4 Client Key Exchange ](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5054#section-2.5.4) > The client key exchange message carries the client's public value (A). The client calculates this value as A = g^a % N, where a is a random number that SHOULD be at least 256 bits in length. The client public value is being generated from a private value that is 4 bits below the specification. This reduces the protocol's designed security margin it is now practically exploitable. The servers full sized 2048 bit random number is used to create the shared session key and password proof. ### Patches The issue is fixed in versions >= 2.0.1 ### Workarounds It is possible to patch a legacy version: ```javascript // WRONG var hexLength = this.toHe...

### Summary `tmp@0.2.3` is vulnerable to an Arbitrary temporary file / directory write via symbolic link `dir` parameter. ### Details According to the documentation there are some conditions that must be held: ``` // https://github.com/raszi/node-tmp/blob/v0.2.3/README.md?plain=1#L41-L50 Other breaking changes, i.e. - template must be relative to tmpdir - name must be relative to tmpdir - dir option must be relative to tmpdir //<-- this assumption can be bypassed using symlinks are still in place. In order to override the system's tmpdir, you will have to use the newly introduced tmpdir option. // https://github.com/raszi/node-tmp/blob/v0.2.3/README.md?plain=1#L375 * `dir`: the optional temporary directory that must be relative to the system's default temporary directory. absolute paths are fine as long as they point to a location under the system's default temporary directory. Any directories along the so specified path must exist, otherwise a ENOENT error will be...

### Summary A command injection vulnerability exists in the `mcp-package-docs` MCP Server. The vulnerability is caused by the unsanitized use of input parameters within a call to `child_process.exec`, enabling an attacker to inject arbitrary system commands. Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution under the server process's privileges. The server constructs and executes shell commands using unvalidated user input directly within command-line strings. This introduces the possibility of shell metacharacter injection (`|`, `>`, `&&`, etc.). ### Details The MCP Server exposes tools to access documentation for several types of packages. An MCP Client can be instructed to execute additional actions for example via prompt injection when asked to read package documentation. Below some example of vulnerable code and different ways to test this vulnerability including a real example of indirect prompt injection that can lead to arbitrary command injection. ### Vulnerable...

### Summary The approach used to check whether a path is within allowed directories is vulnerable to path prefix bypass when the allowed directories do not end with a path separator. This occurs because the check relies on a raw string prefix comparison. ### PoC - setup ``` mkdir ~/public123 move a png file under ~/public123 with name test.png cd npm i ipx ``` - `main.js` ```js import { createIPX, ipxFSStorage } from "ipx"; const ipx = createIPX({ storage: ipxFSStorage({ dir: "./public" }), }); (async () => { { const source = await ipx("../public123/test.png"); // access file outside ./public dir because of same prefix folder const { data, format } = await source.process(); console.log(format) // print image data } { try { const source = await ipx("../publi123/test.png"); // forbidden path: the prefix is not the same const { data, format } = await source.process(); console.log(data) } ca...
